My issue with the original Post is Vanilla Touchmote. I have the Mayflash Dolphin Bar and my Wiimotes sync just fine, but when I open Touchmote and attempt to sync the Wiimotes connect to Touchmote for a second and then deactivate. It's only Touchmote I'm struggling with. They connect just fine in Dolphin.
From one of the methods on the first page, Visual Studio 2013 Express was required but I'm unable to download that from Microsoft's website. Is this piece required and if so, where are you downloading it? There's a download link on Microsoft, but it then says there's nothing to download.
